Hearts for Christchurch

As most of you have probably heard, there has been a deadly attack at a mosque in New Zealand. I'm afraid I don't have any comfort or hope to offer at the moment, as my words fail me.

Angels in Gumboots Hearts for Christchurch

Luckily, Angels in Gumboots have stepped up and put out a call for 6.5 inch green heart blocks to make quilts for the families of the victims. Please see the link above for instructions (size, style, restrictions, etc) as well as where to send them. If you have any questions, please contact Angels in Gumboots directly, as they are organizing this project and can get you the answers you seek.

Montreal-area quilters - we will be collecting blocks to send at our March 23rd Sew-In and at our April 9th meeting. If you would like to send your blocks with ours, you are welcome to! Just bring them by the CRCS St-Zotique on Saturday March 23rd anytime between 10am and 3pm, or drop by the SouthWest Mission in Verdun (corner of Melrose and Verdun) on Tuesday April 9th between 7 and 9pm.

Quilt your hearts out, everyone! 💚

  1. If you can't make the meeting, you can drop off block at Craft De Ville, 2065 rue Parthenais, Studio 274A (buzzer 557) on Fridays and Saturdays between noon and 5pm.
    Also, there is a Crafternoon on April 6th, so the shop is open till 7pm!
